The idea is that non-voting geeks don't need to care about this
vote, anyway. All of the changes we're making are procedural, not
structural. Both the quorum changes and the supermajority changes should
have the same result as the current two-vote system (a vote with multiple
options that ignores supermajority/quorum, followed by a vote about the
winning option with just Yes/No/FD that takes supermajority & quorum
into account) in all reasonable circumstances.

I'd question the value of the scrutinisation of eyes that aren't
interested in the details. (The people who are interested in the details
are, by definition, voting geeks)
